[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like I failed as a parent today! My child (2nd grader) came home crying today because apparently three of her friends are switching schools to go to an AAP center next year. I’m happy with my child’  performance and school, and  didn’t even consider pushing for this. But she’s been crying for over an hour about how she is “stupid” and will have no friends next year. She doesn’t even want to see these girls tomorrow because they told her they aren’t friends with her anymore. I had absolutely on idea this is something kids talk about- this is my first kid. Have other parents experienced  this ? [/quote]

I don't believe for a hot minute that this happened.[/quote]

Not the OP.  This scenario happens all the time - you simply don't see it because your kid is in AAP.  Those of us with kids in GE have experienced exactly this or very similar with our own kids.  It's so typical that you would dismiss it though.

This is why AAP centers need to be a thing of the past.[/quote]

It absolutely does.  My DS was a bright LIII who would have most likely been principal placed LLIV if our base school had that as an option.  But it didn't, so he had to listen to a friend tell him he wished my kid was smarter so they could still go to school together.  My friend had a LLIV class at their base school and her son was principal placed into the classroom.  Many AAP kids stayed at that school, and they didn't have to deal with any of the drama.

I've said it before, FCPS just needs to pick one model and stick with it and let parents all deal with the collective fallout.  With all of their push for equity, you would think they would standardize this more for the entire program.[/quote]
